The Queen is dead, but pickleball is forever... What does the ADG crew think about such pressing, world-shattering events as the dear Queen of the United Kingdom passing away at the ripe old age of 96? Or Mike's exploding influence in the world of pickleball, a sport that is bound to "save America" from itself? Or the power of ayahuasca to right the wrong that is the very being and outsized cultural presence of controversial football quarterback Aaron Rogers? Or Colin's experience at the literal shitshow that was Woodstock '99? You'll have to tune in (via your HAM radio setup, soon enough) to find out!

This is the grandest ADG yet! Two newcomers, a former educator in GOP-controlled Texas and a nurse in Alberta, Canada, join Patrick, Forrest, Bill, Colin, and previous guest Jonathan DeJong, for a compelling and expansive discussion on the ongoing social collapse of the United States. From the full-fledged emergence of a far-right theocracy seizing absolute power in the coming years, to the unrelenting stream of mass shootings and visible signs of institutional decay, this episode is an excavation, of sorts — an unearthing of the roots of the crisis, and what a path through it may look like.

Alley Valkyrie joins Forrest, Mike, and Patrick from her home in France to discuss what it means to be a Cassandra in a time of collapse. Alley decided to leave her home in the United States for France in 2017, and discusses her rationale for making such a drastic decision to leave — permanently. She also describes the fundamental cultural and political differences between French and US American perspectives on a large variety of issues, everything from the pandemic, access to healthcare, immigration, and the various manifestations of collapse. The common thread that weaves its way through this discussion is: Where will you be with everything falls apart?

Attack and Dethrone is back! Colin Boyd-Bigby joins Mike, Forrest, and I to talk with Jonathan DeJong, "doomer" and off-grid homesteader. He talks to us about his journey from being a financial advisor for thirty years, to dropping out of the capitalist game and living closer to the land in the Southwest. Mike discusses his new obsession, Pickleball, and Colin remarks on getting targeted ads for prison toilets. Forrest had numerous technical difficulties, and couldn't join us for most of the recording, unfortunately (he since has promised that will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN).

Friend of the podcast Bill Schmidt, along with 18-year-old adventurer Louis Koehler, join us for the first half of this episode. Louis has lived much of his life divided between the United States and Germany, and after graduating from high school, decided to trek across the US along the sunbelt, from Southern California to Florida, with his bike and anything he could carry. In New Mexico, he landed on Mike's property, and had been spending several weeks there before eventually moving on. All five of us discuss "solving your puzzle" -- something Mike and Louis have been discussing during their time together -- in our time of cascading shifts, collapse, and social fragmentation. In the second half, Forrest, Mike, and Patrick make some predictions (or merely guesses) about what this new year of 2022 will bring.

“Stop speaking in code” — speak directly and honestly. We reflect on what that means — from our personal relationships, to the sociopolitical consequences of leaders, and citizens, communicating with half-truths and within fabricated realities.

Forrest, Mike, and Patrick are back to discuss ol' Jeff Bezos blastin' off to the Great Unknown on his extremely phallic pet project. Instead of the United States and the USSR facing off in the Great Space Race of the 20th century, we now have billionaires coasting the high reaches of our planet's atmosphere, laying the groundwork for the industrialization of space. All while the planet burns. But hey, at least ol' Bezos thanked his workers and Amazon customers for making it happen!  Follow on instagram.com/attackdethronegodcast   Intro song by Jordan Thornquest --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adgodcast/message

We recorded this episode on Mike's birthday, so while he was tripping on the gland secretions of some desert toad he found, friend of the podcast Colin Boyd-Bigby stepped in to fill in his shoes. The focus of this episode revolves in great part around the Adam Curtis BBC documentary series All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. We discuss Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy, her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and the outsized influence her work has had on the political, economic, and technological development in the United States. This episode features a segment of Ayn Rand's interview with Mike Wallace in 1959, and the song Crunk In Time by Wukileak.

We return to discuss the Academy Award-winning film Nomadland, directed by Chloé Zhao and starring Frances McDormand. We discuss the off-grid, nomadic life portrayed in the film and present some of our critiques of it -- what it lacks or altogether avoids to address throughout its narrative, displaying the precarity of contemporary life within the United States during an economic recession. Mike especially provides personal insights into the subject, as he lives in an intentional, somewhat off-grid community himself, and details the many things the film got right. We also then, jokingly, discuss our plans to form a cult with Mike at the helm, acknowledging how good he would look in an all-white suit leading our congregation of followers into the End of Days.
